Abstract

The paper examines the relative effect of Treated Domestic Wastewater (TDW) and Potable Water (PW) on compressive strength of geopolymer mortar which is cured in air. With the construction industry in need of sustainable substitutions to traditional Portland cement, geopolymer technology is capable of providing a lower carbon footprint, and the use of wastewater would resolve the increasing water shortage in the world.A blend of sodium silicate (Na2Sio3) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) was used as the alkaline activator. All the specimens were cured at ambient temperatures to represent real life conditions. The major variables considered are the chemical composition of mixing water and Fly Ash to GGBS ratio. The findings of this study are that TDW is a technically viable and environmentally friendly alternative of drinking water in the manufacture of high-strength, ambient-cured geopolymer mortars.

Index Terms – Geopolymer mortar, Treated domestic wastewater, Fly ash, GGBS, Water absorption, Sustainable construction
